PUKEKURA PARK.
MEETING OF THE BOARD The Pukekura Park Board met last night. Present: Messrs. C. E. Bellringer (chairman), V. Griffiths, W. F. Short, R. C. Hughes, W. C. Weston and A. T. Moore. The curator (Mr. Bocock), in the course of his report, stated that the ground at the racecourse end of the park had been prepared for the planting of rhododendrons, whilst general work had also been carried out during the month.
The chairman reported that a special meeting of the board, held at the park, had mapped out work for the next few weeks, including, besides general maintenance, work in the rose-garden. It was decided not to buy from the owner’ a -boat at present in use on the lake, but an offer was made to house it free of charge during the winter months.
Mr. Griffiths was authorised to make a sketch for a rustic entrance at the Carrington Road gate. It is proposed to do the work in macrocarpa, a quantity of which the board has in its possession. The sum of £6 4s 3d, being the board’s share of two concerts held recently at the park, was received from the Returned Soldiers’ Association, to whom a vote of thanks was accorded. The annual meeting of the board will be held next month.
